PBEM game "Praetorian"

That civics switch is definitely a glitch. I saw it once before - except the year was somewhere around 3000bc :lol:
We all thought that the game host was cheating :scan:

I've opened the save 1822 to Peter Grimes, and the event log contains no record of the civics switch. I don't have time to replay now, but I should have time at some point during the day tomorrow. Worst case scenario, it will have to wait until the day after tomorrow, as I have tickets to an event tomorrow night.

Now that I think about it, I believe the last time I saw this glitch was during a PitBoss game. Weird. :twitch:
 
Well, bad news. When I posted earlier that the civics switch didn't happen, I was playing at home on my macBook. I just opened 1822 on the pc here at work, and the civics switch happened.

I can try again this evening from home. But perhaps I was too hasty, and didn't give the event log time to update? I'm not sure how much time is necessary for that stuff. I opened the save, as soon as the mouse was active I clicked into the event log, and saw nothing. But this morning as soon as the mouse was active I got messages about DNK's civics changes.

Perhaps a better (though more annoying) solution would be if I replayed 1820?

What does everyone think?
 
I think we should try to save turn 1822. Replaying war turns should be avoided, if at all possible, imo.

Do you switch between playing on the Mac and PC, Peter? Maybe that contributed to the glitch... and if so, re-playing on the Mac might then avoid it?
I think it's worth a shot at least.
 
It would make sense for me to replay 1820, we shouldn't need to go that far back. I'm really hesitant to, since it took me over an hour the first time, but if you can't fix it by trying on the Mac, I have little choice.

Erik, what's your's looking like?
 
I've replayed 1822 from the mac. I saw no reports of civics switches in the turn logs. So hopefully we've moved beyond this!

Let me know how it goes. I really hope we don't have to replay war turns - that gets real messy real fast :yup:
 
Looks good on my save! :thumbsup:

1822 - Resent to DNK.
 
1826 started :)

May 5, 1826
Athens
Senior government officials are going to be holding a press conference this afternoon to discuss the GUARD actions in Canukistan. There are rumors that the Canukis mounted a targeted resistance to the inspection team that was investigating war crimes reports near Charlottetown. Of 29 Units, only an Armored brigade and a Marine brigade were able to limp back to base. The fate of the other 27 brigades is, at this time, still unknown.
 
Yipes! That sounds familiar. I'm totally flashing back! :lol:

Empire_W officially extends it's deepest condolences to all those who have lost loved-ones in this latest battle. :salute:

1826 - GPS to DNK
 
The Beijing Times, Oct. 15, 1826
In a huge press conference today, General Sun Jiang reported that the glorious First Air Cavalry Division had assaulted the land once known as Victoria, with elements of Chinese armored divisions taking and subsequently razing the metropolitan area. Sun Jiang said it was in response to the wholesale slaughter of allied troops by the Canukis, who were only attempting to ascertain the validity of war crimes in the Rio Grande valley region.

Sun Jiang reported that the city fell with minor casualties to the air cavalry division. Medals have been awarded to all members of the fourth brigade for their herioc effort, and five Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded to members of the 1st Battalion (4th Brg), after they sustained over 95% casualties in the final push into the city [list of names edited out for space]. In addition to the destruction of Victoria, two work groups were massacred along the border in skirmishes. The 1st battalion is currently non-operational, although due to logistics will have to take part in the remainder of Operation Flying Tiger, which resumed this summer in earnest.

Reports have been surfacing of a major shift in the Chinese air campaign, now with Flying Tiger back underway. Support personnel and key commanders have been seen moving far north near the Hamilton region. The president was again fairly miffed, if not outright outraged. He blamed Canuki spies. Later reports from the Chinese Intelligence Bureau (CIB) confirmed enemy espionage in major Chinese cities, although the reporter was subsequently killed after being told which ones. All the CIB agent had to say was, "told you so..."

In further news, Operation Croissanwich is pushing forward, despite rumors of major losses to allied troops. Elements of the Royal Armored pushed forward along the eastern banks of the Rio Grande toward the city, in a joint assault with Greek forces to the west. Heavy aerial bombardment continued, with the unfortunate loss of many air servicemen in the fight. The entire 555th Fighter Wing (the fighting pansies) was destroyed by Quebec's air defenses. A memorial service is being held next Wednesday for their valiant efforts.

Ren Lei has had its hands full this year, and has roundly condemned just about every major military action. But the people of China are more interested in hearing Elvis' new hit single, "Please Don't Stop Bombing Me" than listening to silly human rights reports. Fringe groups are starting to form, however, with one, Pan Guo!, claiming government conspiracies to use music to keep the people pacified. They are rightly made fun of for being paranoid poop heads. As Vice President Wu said, "the real enemy is the terrorist nation of Canukistan". He then convulsed into screams of "fear, fear, fear!" as he was led out by his cabinet members.

Well - with a name like that, what did they expect??


Another wonderful update, DNK! :clap: Very funny.

Oh - and the Empire would also like to lodge a formal (but ineffectual) complaint about the razing of Victoria. Any refugees that survived the carnage will be welcomed by Imperial Red Cross shelters we've setup along the border.
er... actually, I just remembered I don't have medicine yet. Well, anyway. It's the thought that counts?
